Not sure whom has known this....but for awhile now I have had "lift" issues. It still engaged but was very rough and it seemed to lack a lot of power. I also had a CEL on the whole time telling me that I had a "catalytic failure bank 1" which means that the first O2 sensor was picking up a lot of crap in the exhaust system. So I had a hi-flow catalytic convertor and a hi-flow resonator put in....and all I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!! My car feels like brand new again!! It pulls hard through lift and through every gear now. And I have no CEL so all is good!! I am really impressed on how a small mod can make such a huge performance difference for me. I am all smiles now when I am driving and hit lift. It was awesome on the highway back from Fort McMurray because passing was easy. So if anyone is having the same "lift" type of issue...I would highly recommend getting your catalytic convertor changed out.

take it to the track! track tells you what your car actually does in REAL LIFE, not on rollers in a garage!

Yeah but rollers will give me a hp rating...which is always a good thing. I will probably take it to the track as well one night and see what it can do in the 1/4 mile.

hp is only relative. it's mainly bragging rights. but the track is where you get to show how you can drive. cause someone else in your car might BEAT your times! LOL

yeah it all depends on the driver that is for sure. And I am pretty sure that I am nowhere near the best.
